ABSTRACT

Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in paediatric patients. Adult and murine studies have suggested a role for endotoxin from gram‐negative bacteria in the development of MASLD, but there is incomplete and conflicting evidence for its role in adolescents.
